BUY THE BOOK
This innovative flip-format picture book is a sequel to the best-selling Smile Cry (CBCA Notable Book and SCBWI Crystal Kite Award winner for Australia New Zealand, 2017).
Piglet, Bunny and Cat return in a charming, whimsical sensory adventure that encourages kids to explore the multitude of ways they can engage with the world around them, particularly via the senses of sight and sound.
From watching 'squiggly rain' on a window to pointing out 'heavenly horses' in the clouds, from hearing 'buzzing blossoms' as bees collect pollen and nectar to 'hot pan sizzles' as a favourite meal is prepared, See Hear invites us to open our eyes and ears to the everyday magic that surrounds us.
Younger kids will respond to the soft whimsical illustrations, while older readers will enjoy the onomatopoeic wordplay. Perfect for ages 3 and up, this is a book that will captivate children and parents alike.

Such riches in an exquisite combination of author and illustrator
that goes so far beyond the usual eyes see, ears hear books for this age
group. - Barbara Braxton, The Bottom Shelf
The delicate, careful use of onomatopoeia is quite
poetic. Fabulous phrases are given life via Jess Racklyeft’s absorbing
illustrations. – My Book Corner
From the dream team that brought you Smile Cry (Crystal
Kite Award 2017 and 2017 CBC Notable Book) comes another beautiful and
whimsical book for little people. A sensory exploration of the world
around us using the senses of sight and hearing is a perfect way to have
children calm from their busy day. – Just So Stories
Small children will love getting halfway through this
whimsical picture book and being able to “flip” it around to read a new
story … Alliterations such as the “flying feathers” and “buzzing
blossoms” and the onomatopoeic narrative really makes this tale of
Piglet, Bunny and Cat come to life. – The Daily Telegraph
imagine how it could be used to encourage young writers
to bring depth and richness to their words, to explore the world of
metaphor and simile, to really look and listen and feel and taste and
then share that with their readers. Start by having each contribute a
new page for the book, making the common uncommon,; the stereotype
original; the banal beautiful. Watch their writing grow! Such
riches in an exquisite combination of author and illustrator that goes
so far beyond the usual eyes see, ears hear books for this age group. The Bottom Shelf
This is a refreshingly different ‘beginner’s book’. It is not
prescriptive, rather the creative descriptive language allows the reader
to use their imagination to interpret and connect to the concepts and
experiences. The fanciful pastel illustrations support and extend the
text and the characters have a familiar cuddly toy app. Reading Time
